New York, March 30, 2008 – Sunday was the big press day for Martin Scorcese’s Rolling Stones concert documentary Shine a Light.  An afternoon press conference at a Midtown Manhattan hotel was followed by the evening’s glitzy red carpet premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre.  The rock n’ roll bad boys turned up on time for the premiere, and the exuberant Mick Jagger had his current girlfriend L’Wren Scott on his arm. 

After we arrived at the premiere, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony would be attending; it seemed doubtful as the evening wore on, but finally about 30 minutes after the screening was scheduled to begin, a silver Maybach pulled up, and Marc Anthony emerged, went around to the other side and opened the car door for his wife.   J. Lo looked great, and surprisingly svelte only five weeks after giving birth to twins. 

Other surprise attendees were Michelle Yeoh, Val Kilmer and filmmaker Albert Maysles, who with his late brother David made the legendary documentary Gimme Shelter about the Stones’ deadly 1969 concert at Altamont, CA. 

Shine a Light opens in theaters on April 4, 2008.
